Trick or Treat

Despite our best efforts to suggest concept based costumes for W, he chose to portray Finn McMissile of Cars 2 for Halloween, and C was more than happy to be Lightning McQueen. Yesterday was the annual Downtown Trick or Treat event in MA that we've been attending since W was a baby. We enjoyed meeting up with friends beforehand at a local coffee shop. It was quite rainy but the event was rain or shine so we went anyway and the boys had fun. Luckily their costumes fit over winter coats!

Earlier in the day we went to the Singalong at the library, and C had fun. They sing various songs including the Firetruck song, I'm a Little Teapot, ABC's, and the classic The Wheels on the Bus. It is more of a little kids event, so W chose to read books during part of it, but later joined in playing some of the instruments after the noisy parade. We checked some books out so we have plenty of reading material for a while.

Last night also marked the first snow of the season. It is pretty unusual to see snow whilst still seeing the leaves in various colors on the trees.

about us

We are a homeschooling family with two boys ages 7 and 4, living in New Hampshire. This year for Second Grade curriculum we are using Math-U-See (Alpha & Beta), The Story of the World Vol 2, the Giant Science resource book, and Explode the Code book 3. For our younger son (preK) we are continuing with Five in a Row Vol. 1, 2 & 3. Art projects, reading together and independently, science experiments, nature studies, spending time outdoors, field trips, and creative play are also things that fill our days. Influenced by the Charlotte Mason education philosophy. Always looking to evolve and adapt as we go.
